Yes, but that is exaggerated to a great deal.  What they do there is take all the stats of each indvidual institution and aggregate it and report it as one.  The real question is, how much federal $$$ in research is generated specifically because Big Ten school 'X' partners with Big Ten school 'Y' and that partnership would have only come about because of the CIC.
 
In all the research I've ever done on it, I can't find anything where that is broken down.  The best I've ever found is that the CIC "share" certain research faculty, library resources, student intern exchanges, and develop consistent graduate curriculum in certain areas to allow for joint grant partnerships.   And when specifically investigating PSU grant partnerships the ones I have seen in the past were with Case Western and Penn moreso than with other Big Ten institutions.  Not saying this isn't something that is a factor, just that I think it tends to be blown out of proportion to the nth degree in terms of importance.
